Joseph Joachim called Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto a ‘jewel of the heart’ – a work where lyrical melodies and virtuosic brilliance intertwine seamlessly. In this gem of the Romantic repertoire, the violin and orchestra engage in an emotional dialogue, with Lisanne Soeterbroek, concertmaster of the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, as the soloist. Beethoven’s monumental Fifth Symphony follows, its iconic opening bars evoking fate and revolution. This groundbreaking masterpiece has captivated audiences for over two centuries, embodying both passion and historical significance. The Austrian conductor Christoph Koncz leads the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra in a programme brimming with drama and musical splendour.
